Ranked
Critical Ops has a Ranked Defuse game mode where you can compete against other players to climb through the ranks. Players need to reach a specific matchmaking rating to get promoted to the next rank. You can refer to the list below for the ranks and their corresponding matchmaking ratings:

Unranked
Players go through placement matches in each ranked season. These are the first ten matches before getting placed in a rank.

Unranked players have a similar or near rating to their previous season’s matchmaking rating. For example, if a player had a matchmaking rating of 1280 during the last season, they will have a similar or near matchmaking rating to 1280 even while they are unranked.

If the player has never played a ranked game before, they will face players from various ranks during placement matches to calibrate an accurate matchmaking rating.

Winning and losing
Each player gains or loses a matchmaking rating based on their current matchmaking rating compared to the enemy team’s composite matchmaking rating. If the enemy team is stronger, meaning they have a higher matchmaking rating, then losing “is expected”, and rating is not affected a lot for any player. On the other hand - if the team wins, it would be against the odds and increase matchmaking ratings drastically. Winning or losing causes the same effect regardless of the score or K/D ratio.
